Chapter 525: There is no enemy and no self

"What if the Western Army doesn't come?".

"That's okay, once Jingzhou is attacked, Xu Yuan will not only be in danger of being cut off, but his old nest Weizhou will also be threatened. In this case, he will definitely hurry back to his division to save him, and the situation in the Huanqing War Zone will be changed. Zhang Junruo can't take it yet, he can only say that he is a foodie. Chi Hui sneered.

Most of the generals present laughed, and the generals of the South Korean army all hung their heads and did not speak. Since the defection of Li Cheng and others, they have become low-eyed little daughters-in-law, living with their tails between their legs.

"To be honest, Xu Huer still manages Fengxiang well. I heard you say that in only two years, he built Zhu Jiguan and built Fengxiang Mansion like an iron bucket. This guy really has some means, no wonder he is always mentioned by people. Trihan said.

"What's that? No matter how famous the Purple Gold Tiger is, didn't it also suffer a big defeat in Juzhou? It's a pity that Ma Wu failed to do his best, if he captures or kills the Purple Gold Tiger alive, it will be very happy. Someone laughed.

Han Chang pulled the fire with a stick, and regardless of whether his comrades could hear it or not, he whispered: "Don't underestimate him......"

A rush of footsteps gradually approached, and after a while, the door of the concealed room was slammed open, and a cold wind choked in, causing the generals in the room to change their faces greatly. Turning his head to look, he saw a Jurchen soldier rushing in and falling to the ground with a plop

The generals were startled again, and someone jumped up, stepped forward to support him, and asked, "What is the alarm?"

The soldier also had a severed arrow stuck in his body, multiple wounds, and blood had solidified on his robe. He pointed to the north, panting like a cow and said: "Our army, here, ambush in the mountains"

As soon as the words came out, the whole house was shocked

The wooden stick in Han Chang's hand snapped and folded into two sections, and Chi Zhanhui's eyes protruded, Huo Ran got up and said, "What? In the middle of the volt? ”

A question shrouded the hearts of all the civil and military forces present, in the middle of the ambush? It's impossible, how did the Western Army know that we were going to divide our troops to the north? And chose to set up an ambush in Qishan?

Chi Zhanhui was shocked, it was really a strange thing, if you want to fight an ambush, you must know the opponent's route in advance. This time he sent troops north to attack Jingzhou, and he personally presided over the drafting not long ago, how did Xu Wei know? With this in mind, he asked the wounded soldier, "What is the situation now?" ”

"Miserable" soldier said with a crying tone, even if he didn't say it, it was easy to see from his expression. "The South Korean army is in front, our army is behind, as soon as we enter Qishan, we encounter the opponent's ten thousand arrows, rolling stones and trees raining down, our army hurriedly withdrew, and was covered by the opponent's horse army, and collapsed into a formation......"

As soon as he heard that the other party had a horse army to cover up the killing, Chi Zhanhui understood that the situation was not optimistic. There is no doubt that this ambush of the Western Army has been carefully prepared, and its purpose is to completely eat our troops in the north

Thinking of this, this Jurchen Xiao gritted his teeth with anger, and gritted his teeth: "Qishan is only more than a hundred miles away from here, and the Western Army dares to ambush me at such a close distance, so it treats me as if I am nothing, and immediately gallops north to help the main force to follow up with me."

As soon as he shouted, the generals of the Jin Army in the room were furious, and they all asked for war and turned against him, daring to ambush my 60,000 army to the north, see how you ambush

Han Chang threw away the broken branch in his hand, got up and shouted, "Don't"

Chi Zhanhui's resentful gaze suddenly shot at him: "What did you say? ”

"Since the Purple Golden Tiger is ambushed in Qishan, it means that he has spied on our army's advance route, judging from my experience with Xu Hu'er, once he has seized the opportunity, the best way is to change his course," Han Chang said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, a subordinate general of Chi Zhanhui questioned: "Do you mean to say that we will abandon our brothers who went north and let the Hu'er army strangle them?" ”

"That's not what I meant," Han Chang explained.

"What do you mean, then," Crimson roared angrily

Han Chang stared at him, not afraid, and said, "Save it, let Ma Jun go and bring the remnants back." But the main force of our army must be anchored here, and he was afraid that his comrades would not understand, and added, "With Xu Hu'er's cunning, since he has spied on the inside story in advance, it is impossible to fight only one ambush." There must be other arrangements for this battle, we have lost the opportunity, and now we must be on the safe side, and we must not act rashly."

Chi Zhanhui looked at him for a long time, and suddenly asked everyone, "Which of you agrees with what he said?" ”

There was silence in the house, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and the drums were beaten by 10,000 people, Han Chang not only lost his troops in the battle of Zhu Jiguan, but also made no achievements, but also directly led to the defection of Li Cheng and others. Now that he has been stripped of his command and remains in the army for staff officers, who will support him?

Seeing that the generals were silent, Han Chang said expressionlessly: "I said what should be said." If you have to go north, you will be responsible for all the consequences."

Chi Zhanhui said disdainfully: "I have an army of 80,000 and I am in the wilderness, I want to see how the Hu'er army will give me an order to fight in the field, the horse army will go first, and the main force will follow" Speaking of this, he deliberately stared at Han Chang, and said word by word, "Bingfa Qishan"

North of Fufeng, sixty miles away.

In the wilderness, scattered scattered with infantry cavalry mixed in one place, fled south in a hurry. Most of the Korean soldiers discarded their long weapons, and a considerable number of them also removed their armor. With dozens of pounds of weight missing, it is naturally easier to escape.

"Catch up, hurry up" After an exclamation sounded, the already tired deserters puffed up their last breath, pulled their legs and ran wildly to look back, only to see the cavalry of the Western Army once again rushed up, and the desperate deserters couldn't help but curse angrily in their hearts, this group of thieves and the army wanted to kill them all

The hideous-looking Yang Zaixing, as always, was still galloping in front of the thousand troops, and the iron spear in his hand had already drunk the blood of the enemy. Under him, there is no triad, and today is almost the easiest fight he has ever had since the campaign. He has chased fifty or sixty miles, but he still has the intention of giving up. There are more than a thousand elite horsemen behind him, all of whom have already killed red eyes, and the feeling of running with the enemy is too comfortable

The horses were galloping, and seeing that they were about to catch up again, the knights tilted their bodies on the horses, their weapons retracted, and each of them stared at their prey, about to strike the final blow

At this moment, a whining sound was heard in the distance, and as soon as the alert cavalry heard it, they immediately raised their heads and looked south. Reinforcements from the Jin army came

"Commander, enemy reinforcements have arrived, let's go back," one of Yang Zaixing's commanders shouted.

But where can Yang Zaixing hear it? Even if you hear it, how can you take care of it? After stumbling forward and knocking an escaping infantryman to the ground, he set his sights on his next target. It was a cavalry general of the Jin Army who had fled on a flying horse, he obviously knew that he was being targeted, and he turned his head to look at Yang Zaixing.

When the four looked at each other, both of them revealed killing intent in their eyes

Yang Zaixing took a fancy to the gold ring hanging on his ear, knowing that this was not an ordinary cavalryman, he leaned forward and raised the iron spear in his hand I will let you run

Suddenly, the Jin general, who was only one or two steps away from the tip of the gun, turned around suddenly, leaned back, grabbed Yang Zaixing's gun with his left hand, and dragged it forward, the scimitar in his right hand was raised high, and he wanted to slash, but he underestimated the arm strength of the number one general of the Tiger Army, and he pulled it with all his might, just like an ant shaking Mount Tai, not moving at all

Just when he was shocked, a huge force dragged him out of the saddle and fell to the ground almost at the same time, Yang Zaixing's war horse jumped past him, and it was too late to return to the horse gun, but when Yang Zaixing looked back, he found that one of his cavalrymen then caught up, and pinned the golden general to the ground with a shot, struggling and wailing......

"Yang Command, take a look", an anxious cry finally caught Yang Zaixing's attention. He looked up and couldn't help but change his face. On the vast field, there was a dense scene of enemy horsemen galloping, and finally he raised his gun and shouted loudly, "Horse back and retreat"

The cavalry beside him removed the silver horn from his waist, and the sharp and loud sound of the horn echoed across the plain. As soon as the cavalrymen who were chasing the remnants of the enemy heard the sound of the trumpet, they immediately gave up the pursuit, turned their horses, and in an instant they ran north

How could the cavalry of the Jin Army let them go? Regardless of the friendly troops who escaped death, they all rushed to the front horse army to kill thousands of horsemen galloping in front, and ten thousand horsemen covering the back, in the territory of Fengxiang Mansion, a life-and-death battle was already on the line

On the eighth day of the lunar month, Zhu Jiguan.

Liangxing pacification division is under the control of Xu Hong, standing on the top of the Zhujitai barrier, overlooking the north. He has already received the news that the Kim-Korean coalition forces have crossed the border again and are making a comeback. What he wants to do now is to wait for the main force of the Jin army to go north, and then lead Zhu Jiguan's army to follow and attack with the friendly forces of Fengxiang Mansion in Qishan.

Seeing that it was almost noon, there was no new news coming, which made the red-haired tiger a little worried. Did something happen ahead? Or did the Jin army see through our army's intentions?

"Xu Wu" With a shout, Xu Si, who was in sonorous armor, rushed to the barrier.

Xu Hong turned around to look, but when he saw that the fourth brother was in a hurry, his expression was solemn, his heart moved, and he blurted out: "Fourth brother, has the Jin army moved?" ”

"It's moving" Xu Si came up, didn't care about taking a breath, and said loudly. "The scouts have found out, the Jin army and the horse army go first, the main force follows up, and they are heading north"

Looking at his emotionally excited cousin, Xu Wu couldn't help but feel that the opportunity to come to this battle was related to the victory or failure of this defensive operation, and it was also related to whether the Western Army could be able to grasp the shame of the state with both hands on the wall after two years of hibernation, and he said in a deep voice: "Fourth brother, this battle will be won."

The military order flew around, and Zhu Jiguan, who had been silent for a long time, boiled up, and the infantry rushed out of the barracks, took all the equipment, and gathered outside the pass. The cavalrymen flew on their horses and rushed out of the gate. In less than half an hour, more than 20,000 horsemen were assembled. Xu Sheng, as the deputy envoy of Liangxing pacification, called on the whole army, this battle is very important, from him down, must fight to the death

After a brief mobilization, the army marched north and followed the Jin army

Fengxiang Mansion City

Just after the Zhujiguan garrison was dispatched, the Fengxiang garrison was also under the command of Yang Yan and Zhang Xian, and went out of the city to assemble. The main forces of Qin Fengshuai gathered here. Coupled with the reinforcements of Xihe Yao Bilong, a total of 4,500 cavalry troops and more than 22,000 elite infantry troops

In front of the elite of the two roads, Yang Yan, who was not good at incitement, issued a brief pre-war mobilization. His meaning is summed up in four words, and if you don't win, you will die

Death if you don't win, this is the style of the Hu'er Army for many years, since the defeat of Juzhou, it has been rarely heard, now, the founding father of the Hu'er Army, Qin Feng Shuai, all control Yang Da, once again shouted out this slogan of the enemy and selflessness, the soldiers know very well that this battle, we have to wash away the shame of Dunzhou, we want to comfort the heroic souls of the dead, we want to re-play the majesty of the Tiger Army

On the eighth day of the first month, at noon, Qishan.

The earth-shattering shouts and rumbling explosions have resounded in Qishan for more than an hour After Yang Congyi had just solved the Han army in the middle of the ambush, the Jin army 10,000 cavalry rushed forward and galloped to face the simple fortifications on the two high plateaus of Qishan

Yang Congyi commanded the army and the righteous bravery, and continued to shoot and suppress with strong bows and crossbows. But it was very helpless, this place was an excellent place for a hidden ambush, but because of the open terrain at the southern foot of Qishan, the Jin army was able to lengthen the offensive surface. On the contrary, on the two plateaus where the defenders were located, the terrain was relatively narrow, and soon after the battle, the Jin army rushed to the plateau, and when it was critical, the defenders repelled the strong enemy with the few remaining earth-shattering thunderbolts.

After the Jin army, which had been frustrated in the initial battle, retreated, it gathered a little, and attacked again quickly, and the west plateau, which Qin Tongyi bravely defended, fell into hand-to-hand combat, and the east plateau was still suppressed under the command of Yang Congyi. But when the main forces of the Jin army caught up, the situation changed......

"The commander has run out of firearms, and the arrows are insufficient, and the golden dog has come up," General Yu ran to the side of Yang Congyi, who was sitting on the ground, and reported loudly.

Yang Congyi, an authentic Shaanxi man, was a farmer who picked up dung until he was thirty years old. When Xu Wei led the remnants into Qin Feng, he threw away the farm tools, picked up the weapons, and joined the army. Because of his strong martial arts and flexible mind, he was promoted from an ordinary soldier to the rank of deputy commander in less than two years, becoming a middle- and lower-ranking officer.

This time, Zhang Xian gave him the task of ambushing. One is to value his ability, and the other is because this person is loyal and sincere. As long as there is a military order, even if he fights to the last man, he will not retreat half a step, because the defenders of Qishan must attract the attack of the Jin army. In other words, most of the defenders of Qishan are probably sacrificed. They must use their own sacrifices to wear out the sharpness of the Jin army to the greatest extent, and increase the chances of victory for the two main forces.

In the previous counterattack, Yang Congyi's body was shot through his iron helmet by two wounds and one arrow, driving a hole in his right forehead. There was also a bone that smashed into his left leg, the bone was not broken, but it was difficult to walk.

Hearing the police, this big-faced, dark-skinned man forced himself to get up with a knife and limped forward. A moment later, he stood at the top of the platform, overlooking the hill. The scene in front of him is enough to make any battle-experienced general frightened by the two plateaus of Qishan, which has been blocked by the enemy like a sea and turned his head to look at the west plateau, the volunteers are already making the last resistance, and I believe that it will not be long before the west plateau will be lost.

At this time, if Yang Congyi wants to flee for his life, he still has a chance. Because the elevation of the east and west plateaus is decreasing to the north. He could have led some of his guards north to flee for his life. But as soon as he left, the east and west plateaus were all lost, and the main force had not yet arrived......

Lifting the knife up, looking at the sharp edge, Yang Congyi said in a deep voice: "Serving the country in the army, it is inevitable to die, now our department is the main force to delay the golden dog, and die as well as the brothers, the guys, fight to the death in the last fight, and also pull the Huangquan Road on the back, not afraid of loneliness"

Hearing him say this, the soldiers knew that they would not survive. There is no way, there are no generals who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and there are no soldiers who escape from the battle From the day of the founding of the army, our commander set an iron law, and the officers must charge in front and retreat in the rear

The Jin army swarmed up, and the soldiers around Yang Congyi tightened their weapons, just waiting for his order.

"Shang" Yang Congyi uttered the word from between his teeth, and then, he charged forward with his sword for only a moment, and his howl roared out the fear, despair, and resentment in the hearts of the soldiers

On the open ground below, Chi Zhanhui was leading the troops to watch the battle. Seeing that it didn't take long for the Jin army to capture the West Plateau and also occupy an advantage in the East Plateau, he couldn't help but laugh, this was a smile for Han Chang to see.

How is it? I'm about to deal with the ambush in Qishan, and at this time, what can I do even if the Tiger Army presses up? I have 15,000 elite horsemen, more than 30,000 fierce infantry troops, and nearly 20,000 Korean troops. If he really comes, I will be on the plain before this Qishan, and you can ask Xu Wei for a decisive battle with him, is he sure of winning?

"Han Chang, how is it?" Chi Zhanhui finally couldn't help but ask.

Han Chang didn't answer directly, but just persuaded: "It's better to withdraw the horse army, Xu Wei's cavalry is no longer what it used to be, and it must be guarded against." ”

At this time, the horse army that had previously pursued Yang Zaixing's troops had been used as the vanguard force, and they all dismounted and fought on foot, attacking the east and west.

"What am I afraid of him doing? Come on. Chi Hui chuckled.

Han Chang was patient: "This place is still open, but it is blocked by Qishan in the north, and there is a lacquer water partition in the east, and there are less than 100 miles between the radius. It's okay to win, in case of defeat, our army has no way to retreat......"

Chi Zhanhui was furious when he heard this: "Why do you dare to curse me for defeat?"

"Those who are good at fighting, don't worry about winning, first think about defeating the enemy and have taken the lead, our army must not be guarded" Han Chang said angrily.

Chi Zhanhui raised his whip and wanted to wave it, but he saw several horsemen rushing to him, and hurriedly reported: "The Western Army went north out of Zhuji Pass, repelled my rangers, and is coming here."

The whip couldn't be pumped anymore no matter what, and Chi Zhanhui slowly lowered his hand, not panicking. After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Let all the Ma troops withdraw, and destroy the enemy at Zhu Ji Pass while it is not stable."

"This is less than fifty miles away from Fengxiang Mansion City, if the Western Army mobilizes a large number of horse troops, it will be there in the blink of an eye. How can the horse army be driven south? Han Chang questioned.
